-  Bandwidth Limiter should reboot the WAN interface only when Captive Portal is enabled. However, with releases 2020.8 and earlier, Bandwidth Limiter rebooted the WAN interface even with Captive Portal disabled. The router dropped the Internet connection until the WAN interface was reinitialized and the WAN connection renegotiated.
